These are very important to Koreans so this kind of lesson is very important especially if you are to drink with Korean bosses, Korean colleagues, Korean friends and their families. STEP ONE: Receiving or giving something should be done using two hands . This also applies when receiving drinks. This is very important because it signifies politeness and respect. This is usually d
